Summer 1
As scientists, how can we care for our plants?
Week 1
What an amazing week it's been in Year 1! We swiftly got back into our routines while also preparing for our first school trip of the year.
In English, we have been looking at our new text 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. We completed our box of tricks lesson, cold write and lastly drew our story maps to help us to remember the story.
In maths, we began our new unit on multiplication and division. Throughout the week we looked at counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We practised counting forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s.
In science, we designed a pot suitable for planting a flower. As a class we discussed the different requirements a plants need to survive. Next week, we'll plant our pots, with each child taking charge of watering their plant.
In geography, we began to compare the weather across the UK. We looked at the weather in the different seasons and drew what clothes and items you would need for each season.
In ICT, we started our new coding unit. We recapped what an algorithm was before moving on and looking at an object and an action.
As part of our Design & Technology unit this term, we'll be making smoothies. On Friday, we identified fruits from a selection of fruits and vegetables, learning that for something to be classified as a fruit, it must contain seeds.
Chessington World of Adventures - school trip
On Wednesday, Year 1 visited Chessington World of Adventures for a fantastic Science workshop based on their Living things and their Habitats topic! The children loved seeing all the animals and even getting to meet some of them up close!
